  1. I have a big old gas powered chinese bbq with rotisserie makes fantastic pork roast and chicken is out of this world. There is always a new one on ebay has reasonable reviews and makes about £300. Worth getting the rear infrared burner cos it seals the taste into the meat. You wont get a whole pig on but enough big joints to feed 30-40 people I would have thought. You may even use it for the next ten years.
  2. You did very well was that including cutting it to 6" or was that done prior how many people worked on it during the week.
  3. If you get good at it and work hard it should only take 41 weeks to turn that into 50,000 bags.
  4. Just about everything I have bought on ebay has a problem or hidden damage. Thats why they sell it on there with a crap picture. They are economical with the truth and you need to ask the right questions then you look like a difficult customer. Even when sold inc vat trying to get an invoice like pulling an elephant through the eye of a needle. Wide berth give it.
  5. How do you make that pay ? in this part of the word its below cost price and I have not added labour to it yet.
  6. The reason we packed in was people round our way selling at £60 a cu metre loose unless you can get £100 a cube not worth doing imo. The dunno whats in me truck but its going to be cheaper than im down the road brigade have killed it.
  7. This makes more sense as you could have less weight on a more capable trailer with better safety margin which could improve road safety.
  8. Probably wont help as they dont like putting things down on paper and a verbal conversation is next to useless. When you ring them they are guarded as to what they say and half the time do not understand all the bull themselves.
  9. Sounds like one of my mad bargains sometimes it works a treat sometimes you wish you had paid the labour to fit new. Unfortunately alot of new boilers are too electronic and poorly made so fitting used may pay off.
  10. Or the bar is worn out. Fitted a new oregon bar never happened again.
  11. A loose cube of logs round our way is £60. When we did logs our truck did 20 mpg and average was probably 10 miles ea way so thats £7. Until people stop selling logs cheap things wont change. You should do well if there is a shortage of cord and we have a proper winter and the price of gas stays high.
  12. When we did logs I used to have a price rise in august then another in December when logs were scarce I used to then hold this price through the summer to encourage stocking up early.
  13. They could just be selling them because they got a little bit of dirt on the corner or they dont match the colour of their timberlakes. Or maybe they are last years colours it does not look good when you are strutting around on the ground if you are not up with the latest fashion.
  14. Can of cola, mars bar and a banana followed by lots of tea not water its too heavy on the stomach.
  15. I had a problem with the new stress control fitted to my greenmech. I traced it to a faulty safety switch on the engine cover. I dont think the original stress control was faulty at all. Check the cheap easy obvious things first.
  16. Not sure how they do it used to be on the vodaphone network. It tends to be inch perfect. Worth getting a demo very impressive and accurate with user friendly options.
  17. I use tom tom and do alot of miles ea year. I pay £44 a year for the live updates I could not live without it. You can see every jam in the country at a glance and when you get stuck in traffic you know its only 2 mins. If it can it will route you round any problems. Avoid the 303 near stonehenge for the next few months you can go round it by pulling off at shrewton going east and amesbury if going west. Most of my vehicles have aircon,satnav and drinks fridge. I once got stuck comming back from Glasgow waited 6 hours for a jumper on a bridge and then he bottled it took 15 hours to get home luckily there was two of us to share driving.
  18. I am glad things are sorted. Bit of a raw subject for us even after 5 years when an employee downloaded a lot of contacts from our pcs onto a memory stick before leaving. I would imagine this is the reason people have produced these agreements .
  19. I had some mould problems last year using the striped vent bags but then the weather was poor. Not into log sales but store my blanks for the kindler to season them. This year have .7 bags bit thinner and have mosquito mesh on two sides.
  20. Td5 disco van racked inside and carries at least 600kg at the legal speed limit 30 mpg towing 3000kg does 25 as good as it probably gets, doubt the d4 will do that and i know the amazon won't.
  21. That's actually clever because its changing the oil as you work.
  22. Been there got the t shirt. Some of these people are so thick they can't do simple maths. When you offer to buy it all the penny drops. I offered a company in Newbury to buy two roro skip fulls . They wanted more money than they were selling to the public and then 20% vat on top. One delivery in stead of 50 ? Their expression was its money in the bank looked more like mouldy logs in a skip to me and there was soft wood in it. May be worth talking to him he may have just under valued his efforts hope he does not have too much.
  23. Neither because you are already taking the 200ft beech down for free over a green house to get the firewood.
  24. I get me coat
  25. manager 30,160 - 42,640 Does anyone need a manager ? I can get by without the £640 if it helps
